Additionally, the stock core density struggles with low-airflow heat soak during technical trail crawling, high-ambient desert operation, and sustained heavy towing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from 100% TIG-welded T-6061 aluminum, this downflow unit features a high-density 3-row racing tube core measuring 16.75 in H x 28.65 in W. Eliminating failure-prone plastic tanks and rubber gaskets, it maximizes fluid volume and thermal transfer efficiency. It integrates an internal transmission oil cooler with M14x1.5 threaded ports to stabilize A343F gearbox temperatures under continuous load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1996-1997 Lexus LX (LX 450)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1FZ-FE 4.5L I6 \/ FZJ80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e212 hp \/ 275 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e16.75 in H x 28.65 in W (3-Row Downflow)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlet \/ Outlet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1.50 in Passenger \/ 1.65 in Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Cooler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eInternal Cooler with M14x1.5 Fittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996 Lexus LX 450 Base 4.5L I6 Automatic Transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997 Lexus LX 450 Base 4.5L I6 Automatic Transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoes not fit 1998-later Lexus LX 470 4.7L V8 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Lexus Overland Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for high-durability overland rigs and heavy-load towing applications, ensuring strict coolant temperature regulation without leakage or pressure drop in demanding off-highway environments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50416625221880,"sku":"DS-EOWWOSNBH","price":249.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-lexus-lx-1996-1997-4-5l-automatic-1.jpg?v=1788323115","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/performance-radiator-for-lexus-lx-1996-1997-4-5l-automatic","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
